i would plug it in as what you're doing. if you do circuits, put it in as that, then if you do lifting put it under strength0

A simple formula is 1 calorie per minute for lying on the couch watching tv, 10 calorie per minute running from a bear. (this is low enough to count in a few breaks here and there) Estimate how hard you worked and multiply minutes x 1-10. It's a total ballpark, but honest enough to keep you close.
In general, don't worry about over exercising0 -
It is going to depend. Best bet? Get a HRM.
My personal trainer was calculating the average calorie expenditure per exercise and doing all the math for me based on the session he planned. But, when I got a HRM, I was burning more almost always. He would have calculated 600-800 and I'd actually have a HRM reading of 800-1000.
Best of luck figuring this out!0 -

I was wondering if anyone else used this formula!!!! Holds pretty true if you are honest with yourself!!!0
